Chapter 7
Lu Heng finished speaking and gently patted An Le’s hand that was gripping his arm, “Give your address to the driver; he’ll take you home.”
Then Lu Heng opened the car door and got out.
After the assistant got in, he immediately turned on the pheromone diffuser. Only when the pheromones in the car became fainter did he breathe a sigh of relief and ask the omega in the back seat, “Sir An, where is your home?”
Lu Heng’s scent disappeared from the car, and An Le became uneasy again. He was stunned for a moment before giving an address. By the time he fully recovered, the car had stopped at the entrance of his apartment complex.
Assistant: “Mr. An, we’ve arrived. Shall I walk you upstairs?”
He wasn’t blind; the omega the boss marked looked very timid. He wouldn’t be surprised if the boss completely controlled him in the future.
“Thank you, no need.”
An Le fled from the car and hurried home.
The apartment complex was old, and the motion sensor lights on the fourth floor had been broken for a long time. He fumbled for his keys on the third floor, trembling. As soon as he reached the fourth floor, someone grabbed his wrist, “Le Le, are you alright? Where were you taken? Are you injured? Did that alpha bully you?”
Hearing Xiao Xiao’s voice, An Le felt completely relieved. He opened the door and said, “No, I’m not injured. Xiao Xiao, are you alright? You… you disappeared.”
An Le’s attention was difficult to focus on while outside. When Lu Heng grabbed him, he couldn’t pay attention to Xiao Xiao.
“What could happen to me, a beta? Come inside; let me see if you’re injured.”
After An Le entered, Xiao Xiao examined him thoroughly, relieved when he confirmed he was fine.
Xiao Xiao felt incredibly guilty. Why did he even think about having An Le do those things? He almost got An Le into trouble.
Xiao Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, apologized, and then began to question An Le, “That alpha said you had his pheromones on you. What’s going on?”
An Le: …
An Le didn’t want to talk about what happened at the mall that day, but Xiao Xiao was different. After hesitating for a moment, he told him about what happened that day and Lu Heng’s proposal.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Xiao raised his hand with reddened eyes, scaring An Le into shrinking back.
Xiao Xiao paused, slapped his thigh, and angrily said, “Why didn’t you tell me? All this time, I didn’t know you were in trouble. Do you even consider me a friend? You’re taking advantage of the fact that I’m a beta and can’t smell pheromones, aren’t you?”
Seeing Xiao Xiao hitting himself, An Le quickly grabbed Xiao Xiao’s hand, his eyes red, “No, no. I’m wrong. I shouldn’t have kept it from you. Don’t hit yourself; it hurts.”
Xiao Xiao sniffed and mumbled angrily, “You’ve become bad.”
Such a big thing happened, and he didn’t tell him. If he had known, he would have put off work and stayed with An Le.
“But you’ve been completely marked. If your pheromone compatibility is really high, you can alleviate his heat, and he can guarantee you’ll have a better life, it’s indeed okay to marry him.”
An Le had suffered too much. Although he could help An Le, his salary wasn’t enough.
He had been working hard for two years, and sometimes he was tired. Besides, as a beta, he couldn’t completely guarantee An Le’s safety.
Soon, the suppressant An Le had taken two years ago would expire. Even if he used his savings to buy it for An Le again, it wouldn’t help for long.
If An Le could find a reliable alpha who was kind to him and could help him escape the An family, that would be the best outcome.
However, Xiao Xiao was concerned, “But we don’t know if he’s telling the truth, and we don’t know if his family background is strong enough to go against the An family. Don’t agree to him yet. Stay home. I’ll go and find out about him. After we’re certain about his character and family background, then consider whether to agree, understand?”
An Le nodded obediently, “I understand.”
If Lu Heng’s family wasn’t strong enough to confront the An family, Lu Heng wouldn’t have a good time, and neither would he. He knew that.
Seeing An Le agree, Xiao Xiao finally felt relieved, “My crush seems to know that alpha, but it’s too late today. I’ll sleep here tonight and ask him tomorrow.”
Hearing this, An Le quickly got Xiao Xiao’s small blanket and pillow from the closet and put them on the small bed.
Xiao Xiao chuckled, pulling An Le down to lie down, “We’ll be squeezed together again tonight. I’ll go back to my place tomorrow.”
“It’s okay.”
An Le whispered, “I like sleeping with Xiao Xiao.”
“Really?”
Xiao Xiao playfully smiled, “When you have an alpha, you won’t want to sleep with me anymore. I heard alphas are very attractive to omegas. You’ll definitely prefer to sleep with your alpha.”
His alpha.
An Le froze. He subconsciously thought of Lu Heng.
Lu Heng also said he was his alpha.
And the feeling of being held in Lu Heng’s arms was indeed… very comfortable, a feeling he had never experienced in his first twenty years. He liked it very much.
In the darkness, An Le slowly blushed. Being teased by his friend, he wanted to argue a little, but he found that Xiao Xiao had already fallen asleep.
An Le patted Xiao Xiao’s chest through the blanket and whispered, “No, I like sleeping with Xiao Xiao.”
